Restaurant, Wine bar: Why BiB is your best ally for wine by the glass?

For a restaurant or wine bar, the BIB solves three problems at once: it eliminates losses from opened bottles, stabilizes the cost per serving, and keeps the wine's quality constant from the first glass to the last — even over several weeks.

A wine-by-the-glass menu is a powerful commercial tool — and a chronic source of waste. A bottle opened at lunch, not finished by dinner, half-oxidized by the next day. Multiply that by five labels, seven nights a week, and you have an idea of the margins disappearing down the sink. The BIB solves this problem at the source.

The problem of the opened bottle in restaurants

When a restaurant opens a bottle to serve a glass, there are two scenarios: the bottle is finished during the session (perfect), or it isn't (air enters, the wine oxidizes, the rest must be thrown out within 24 to 48 hours).

The usual solutions — vacuum pumps, inert gas — only work partially. They slow down oxidation without eliminating it. And they cost money in equipment and time.

What the BIB changes for wine-by-the-glass

Zero loss on partial volumes.

Conservation of 4 to 6 weeks after opening. The first glass served is just as fresh as the last — even three weeks later.

Known and stable cost per serving.

With bottles, the actual cost per glass varies depending on what you throw away. With the BIB, the entire volume is usable. Reliable and consistent cost price.

Identical quality throughout the life of the bag-in-box.

A customer who orders the same wine on Monday night and Thursday lunch will drink the exact same wine.

Simplified service.

The tap allows for fast service without having to pull a cork, with no risk of spilling. Practical during the rush.

Common objections

"My customers want to see a bottle."

In a casual wine bar, a natural wine shop, or a contemporary brasserie, the BIB is perfectly appropriate. More and more restaurants are fully embracing it — often by communicating its anti-waste benefits.

"The quality isn't comparable."

At LET IT BiB, we work with independent winemakers who produce organic, biodynamic, or natural wines. The BIB format does not degrade quality — it preserves it better than an opened bottle.
